Efficient Water Damage Repair in a Niagara Falls Commercial Facility

The Key to Recovery after Water Damage in Niagara Falls
Appliance malfunction or plumbing leaks in Niagara Falls commercial premises cause unexpected destruction. Timely water damage repair is necessary because the longer water is left standing, the higher the risk of mold damage, electrical hazards, and corrosion. Conducting business as usual is also heavily impaired, and the risk to your business equipment and inventory rises. Even if your equipment is not submerged, higher humidity levels can lead to condensation damaging your electronics.
Successful water damage repair in a Niagara Falls business space is possible if business owners act quickly and seek help from professional restoration teams such as SERVPRO. Our crews arrive on-site quickly enough to execute optimal cleaning and sanitation actions and emergency extraction to prevent further damage. We have highly trained personnel to determine which steps to take first and how to use various restoration equipment to extract moisture from your facility.
Moisture extraction methods:
- Dehumidification
- Extraction
- Air moving
Moisture Extraction To Restore Commercial Facilities
Commercial premises which have carpeted floors would be heavily affected when water ingress. Light wands can be used on glue-down carpets and are appropriate for the initial extraction steps. Also, deep extraction tools such as self-propelled extraction rovers help with other rugs. Powered by an independent motor, these devices are designed to allow a restorer ride on them, adding weight which improves effectiveness. They compress the carpet and pad to squeeze out the water before extraction through the vacuum system. The devices typically move at variable speeds, either forward or backward.
Other extraction equipment include:
- Stationary tools
- Submersible pump
- Self-Priming Trash Pumps
- High-Pressure Pumps
Water restoration continues after extraction as water can hide behind walls and flooring; hence, drying must occur. SERVPRO has the best detection equipment to measure the humidity levels in your facility and the materials throughout your factory or office. We use moisture sensors and thermal imaging cameras to inspect and monitor the moisture in building materials, then set up air movers and dehumidifiers to further reduce humidity levels.
